Not really the solution to the problem, but at least it confines the
mess in the core code and allows to get rid of the create/destroy_irq
variants from hell, i.e. 3 implementations with different semantics
plus the x86 specific variants __create_irqs and create_irq_nr
which have been invented in another circle of hell.
x86 : x86 should be converted to irq domains and I'm deliberately
making it impossible to do the multi-vector MSI support by
adding more crap to the current mess. It's not that hard to do
and I'm really tired of the trainwrecks which have been invented
by baindaid engineering so far. Any attempt to do multi-vector
MSI or ioapic hotplug without converting to irq domains is NAKed
hereby.
tile: Might use irq domains as well, but it has a very limited
interrupt space, so handling it via this functionality might be
the right thing to do even in the long run.
ia64: That's an hopeless case, as I doubt that anyone has the stomach
to rewrite the homebrewn dynamic allocation facilities. I stared
at it for a couple of hours and gave up. The create/destroy_irq
mess could be made private to itanic right away if there
wouldn't be the iommu/dmar driver being shared with x86. So to
do that I'm going to add a separate ia64 specific implementation
later in order not to deep-six itanic right away.

This option will show the mapping relationship between hardware irq

in the file "irq_domain_mapping".

---help---
|
|
|
|
Sparse irq numbering is useful for distro kernels that want
|
|
to define a high CONFIG_NR_CPUS value but still want to have
|
|
low kernel memory footprint on smaller machines.
|
|
|
|
( Sparse irqs can also be beneficial on NUMA boxes, as they spread
|
|
out the interrupt descriptors in a more NUMA-friendly way. )
|
|
|
|
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
